During a recent government meeting, community members voiced concerns regarding traffic safety and management in their neighborhoods. Residents highlighted the need for improved traffic signals and increased police patrols to address reckless driving and parking issues.
One resident, Andy Marshall, suggested the installation of a leading left turn arrow at the intersection of Westbound Klauper Road, emphasizing the difficulty of making left turns during peak hours. He acknowledged that Klauper is a state highway, which may limit the city's ability to implement changes directly but expressed hope for advocacy on the matter.
Another resident, Matt Whiteman, raised concerns about parking and reckless driving on Rabbit Road, particularly during weekends. He reported witnessing dangerous behaviors, including street racing and obstructive parking, which he believes pose significant safety risks. Whiteman urged local authorities to consider increasing police presence in the area during late-night hours to deter such activities.
The meeting underscored a growing community focus on pedestrian safety and traffic management, with residents calling for actionable solutions to enhance safety in their neighborhoods.
